Definitions
- This invention relates to low-cost spectrometry systems.
- it relates to systems that do not use gratings but that have sufficient sensitivity and resolution to perform spectroscopic analysis, in particular via a distributed network, of substances (including complex mixtures), in particular foodstuffs, that are in the possession of the individual consumer.
- FIG. 1 shows a design of a typical spectrometer 10 known in the art.
- Light 105 enters through slit 100, is reflected from first mirror 101 onto a dispersive element such as a grating (103) which directs the light onto a second mirror 102.
- a dispersive element such as a grating (103) which directs the light onto a second mirror 102.
- element 103 Because the light is dispersed by element 103 according to its wavelength, every pixel of the spectrometer's sensor 104 will be illuminated by a specific wavelength.
- Spectrometers that use this design are complicated, require precise alignment, are difficult to assemble and are limited in their miniaturization capabilities.
- a spectrometer suitable for routine consumer use must be small, rugged, easy to use, and capable of providing spectra of sufficient quality and resolution that meaningful conclusions about the content of the food being tested can be made.
- the second obstacle is that foods and their contaminants are in general not simple substances, but complex mixtures of substances that themselves tend to have complicated spectra. Thus, for such an end-user system to be useful, it must incorporate means for real-time analysis of the frequently complicated spectra obtained.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7262839 discloses a compact birefringent interference imaging spectrometer.
- This spectrometer comprises at least one liquid crystal cell or a micromechanical Fabry-Perot system that is used as a tunable filter.

- U.S. Pat. No. 7420663 discloses a portable spectroscopic sensing device that is integrated into a mobile communication device such as a mobile telephone.
- the spectrometer uses the sensor associated with the camera located in the mobile communication device as a detector, and its connection with the mobile device allows uploading of the spectral information thus obtained to a remote location.

- CVBH cylindrical beam volume hologram
- This design has the advantage that no slit or grating is needed, but suffers from drawbacks of low throughput and small spectral range.
- the expense of the CVBH element precludes its use in a spectrometer intended for consumers.
- U.S. Pat. Appl. 2010/0309454 discloses a portable spectrometer integrated into a wireless communication device. Not only does the spectrometer disclosed therein depend on dispersive elements, but the system itself requires the use of a fiber optic cable attached to the wireless communication device to transmit light to the spectrometer, further limiting the ease of use and increasing the cost of the system.

- FIG. 6 presents block diagrams of compact spectrometers incorporating the invention herein disclosed:
- FIG. 7 presents a block diagram of one embodiment of the connection of the invention herein disclosed to a communication network.
- the term "dispersive” is used, with respect to optical components, to describe a component that is designed to direct light in space according to its wavelength, and thus to separate spatially the different wavelength components of a polychromatic beam of light.
- Non-limiting examples of "dispersive" optical elements by this definition include diffraction gratings and prisms. The term specifically excludes elements such as lenses that disperse light because of non-idealities such as chromatic aberration or elements such as interference filters that have different transmission profiles according to the angle of incident radiation.
- FIG. 2 A illustrates one non-limiting embodiment of the compact spectrometer system 20 herein disclosed.
- the system comprises an optical filter 200, a first Fourier transform focusing element 201, and a detector 204.
- the first Fourier transform focusing element 201 is a planoconvex lens oriented such that the convex side is facing the optical filter.
- the detector is located in a predetermined plane Pi, which in preferred embodiments of the invention is the focal plane of the first Fourier transform focusing element.
- Optical filter 200 can be of any type known in the art.
- suitable optical filters include Fabry-Perot (FP) resonators, cascaded FP resonators, and interference filters.
- FP Fabry-Perot
- FIG. 2 A a narrow bandpass filter ( ⁇ 10 cm "1 ) with a wide blocking range outside of the transmission band (at least 200 nm) can be used.
- the center wavelength (CWL) of the filter varies with the incident angle of the light impinging upon it.
- Detector 204 may be of any suitable type known in the art capable of detecting light in the wavelength range of interest; the compact spectrometer system disclosed herein can be used from the UV to the IR, depending on the nature of the spectrum being obtained and the particular spectral properties of the sample being tested. Because, as will be explained below, spectra are obtained by measuring the intensity of light as a function of the position in a predetermined plane (e.g. the focal plane of the first Fourier transform focusing element), in preferred embodiments of the invention, a detector that is capable of measuring intensity as a function of position (e.g. an array detector or a two-dimensional image sensor) is used.
- the basic principle of operation of compact spectrometer 20 is as follows.
- Light 205 impinges upon optical filter 200.
- the entrance aperture has an area of the order of 1 mm 2
- the first Fourier transform focusing element (201) performs (approximately) a spatial Fourier transform of the angle-encoded light, transforming it into a spatially-encoded spectrum. That is, the intensity of light recorded by the sensor as a function of position (pixel number) on the sensor is correlated to the intensity at wavelength of the light corresponding to that position.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the dispersion of light on detector 204 for an embodiment in which the detector is a 2-D image sensor located in plane P ! which is substantially coincident with the focal plane of first Fourier transform focusing element 201, and the first Fourier transform focusing element is a lens with radial symmetry.
- the detector is a 2-D image sensor located in plane P ! which is substantially coincident with the focal plane of first Fourier transform focusing element 201, and the first Fourier transform focusing element is a lens with radial symmetry.
- light of different wavelengths ⁇ ⁇ 5 ⁇ 2 , ⁇ 3 , ⁇ 4, etc.
- the relationship between the wavelength and the radius of the corresponding circle will not be linear.
- FIG. 2B illustrates a typical embodiment of compact spectrometer system 20 that incorporates a diffuser. Collimated (or partially collimated light) 206 impinges on the diffuser, which then produces diffuse light 205 which then impinges on optical filter 200.
- the use of a single filter, as shown in FIG. 2A, can limit the spectral range available to the spectrometer. For example, if the angle of incidence of light is larger than 30°, the system will probably not produce a signal of sufficient intensity due to lens aberrations and the decrease in the efficiency of the detector at large angles. For an angular range of 30° and an optical filter CWL of -850 nm, the spectral range available to the spectrometer will be ⁇ 35nm. This range is insufficient for many applications such as Raman spectroscopy.
- FIGs. 4A and 4B show two non-limiting embodiments of an optical filter that comprises a plurality of sub-filters.
- FIG. 4A shows an optical filter in which the sub-filters (8 in the embodiment shown) are arranged along a single axis
- FIG. 4B shows an optical filter in which the sub-filters (9 in the embodiment shown) are tiled in two dimensions.
- the wavelength range accessible to the spectrometer can reach hundreds of nanometers.
- the approximate Fourier transforms formed at the image plane i.e. one per sub-filter
- the signal obtained at any particular pixel of the detector will normally results from a mixture of the different Fourier transforms.
- a micro-lens array is placed in a predetermined plane P 2 that is located between the first Fourier transform focusing element and the detector.
- Such micro-lens arrays are well-known in the art, e.g. in Plenoptic cameras.
- the micro-lens array plane P 2 is substantially coincident with the focal plane of the first Fourier transform focusing element
- the detector plane P 3 is substantially coincident with the plane that includes the image of the optical filter created by the micro-lens array.
- FIG. 2C which shows schematically the optical layout of an embodiment of the compact spectrometer 20 that incorporates a micro-lens array 203 disposed such that it is in the focal plane of first Fourier transform focusing element 201 and such that detector 204 lies in the plane that includes the image of the optical filter created by the micro-lens array.
- each micro-lens thus acts as a "super-pixel” that separates the light impinging upon it into components corresponding to the plurality of Fourier transformations produced by the plurality of sub-filters.
- Each micro-lens creates an image on the detector of the aperture of the optical filter.
- the "micro-image” thus formed represents the contribution to the signal from each part of the lens aperture (i.e. the optical filter) to the "super-pixel" covered by the micro-lens.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the decomposition of the signal by the micro-lens array into the separate Fourier transformed signals.
- optical filter 200 comprises a plurality of sub-filters aligned along a single axis.
- Light impinging on the Fourier transform focusing elements from three of the sub-filters leads to three different signals (210, 220, and 230, respectively) that are dispersed by the micro-lens array on the detector.
- the micro-lens array is disposed such that the light is dispersed on the detector along an axis parallel to the axis on which the sub-filters are aligned.
- FIG. 2D illustrates the optical layout of a preferred embodiment of compact spectrometer system 20 that includes a cylindrical micro-lens array.
- a second Fourier transform focusing element 202 (in preferred embodiments, both of the Fourier transform focusing elements are plano-convex cylindrical lenses with the convex side facing the detector) is placed between the first Fourier transform focusing element and the micro-lens array.
- Second Fourier transform focusing element 202 is oriented such that its focal line is not aligned with that of the first Fourier transform focusing element. In preferred embodiments, the two focal lines are perpendicular.
- the second Fourier transform focusing element is placed such that the detector lies in its focal plane.
- Table 1 provides a summary of the properties of the components of the compact spectrometer system in a typical embodiment. Note that in preferred embodiments, the f- numbers of the Fourier transform lenses and the micro-lenses are identical. The wavelength resolution of this embodiment is ⁇ 10 cm "1 .
- Length of sides of system aperture 1 mm aperture is equal to total filter size
- micro-lens f-number 4.2 lens diameter 40 ⁇ , focal length 169.7 ⁇ ; array pitch diameter
- an additional filter is placed in front of the compact spectrometer system in order to block light outside of the spectral range of interest (i.e. to prevent unwanted light from reaching the detector).
- FIG. 2E illustrates the optical layout of another embodiment of the invention herein disclosed.
- optical filter 200 is located in close proximity to the detector, and first Fourier transform focusing element 201 is a radially symmetric biconvex, plano-convex, or aspheric lens; that is, a cylindrical lens is not used in this embodiment.
- Diffuse light 205 entering the spectrometer system is Fourier- transformed by first Fourier transform focusing element 201.
- the light that impinges upon the filter is directed in a wide range of angles, each spot on the detector corresponding to a different angle of incidence.
- the optical filter is designed such that its CWL depends on the angle of incidence.
- each concentric ring on the image will include only a narrow part of the spectrum of the light reaching the spectrometer system.
- an optical filter comprising a plurality of sub- filters with differing CWLs is used.
- Two non-limiting embodiments of the design of such optical filters are shown in FIGs. 4C and 4D.
- the sub-filters are disposed about a center point.
- each spot created on the image plane is composed of many optical rays (equivalent to many plane waves) whose incident angle is not identical.
- each spot is composed of a ray bundle impinging on the detector over range of angles, where the center of this range is the angle created by the line connecting the center of the lens and the spot on the image and the line connecting the center of the lens and the center of the image.
- this angle which is inversely proportional to the f-number, can vary from a fraction of a degree to several degrees.
- Each ray in the ray bundle will experience a different filtering function, thus reducing the spectral resolution.
- the reduction in spectral resolution will be compensated for by the decreased complexity and cost of this embodiment of the system.
- the measurement of the sample is performed using scattered ambient light.
- the scattered ambient light will not be sufficiently intense to provide a spectrum of sufficiently high quality. Therefore, in preferred embodiments of the invention, the compact spectrometer system incorporates a light source.
- the light source can be of any type (e.g. laser or light-emitting diode) known in the art appropriate for the spectral measurements to be made.
- the compact spectrometer system herein disclosed can be integrated into a mobile communication device such as a cellular telephone. It can either be enclosed within the device itself, or mounted on the device and connected to it by any wired or wireless means for providing power and a data link known in the art.
- a mobile communication device such as a cellular telephone.
- the spectra obtained can be uploaded to a remote location, analysis performed there, and the user notified of the results of the analysis, as described in detail below.
- the spectrometer system can also be equipped with a GPS device so that the location of the sample being measured can be reported.
- the spectrometer system herein disclosed can also be integrated into kitchen appliances such as ovens (particularly microwave ovens), food processors, refrigerators etc. The user can then make a determination of the safety of the ingredients in real time during the course of food storage and preparation.
- FIG. 6 illustrates two non-limiting embodiments of spectrometers for obtaining spectra of a sample 30 that incorporate the compact spectrometer system herein disclosed.
- the spectrometer incorporates, in addition to compact spectrometer system 20, a light source 60.
- the light source may be a laser; in other embodiments, it may be a light-emitting diode (LED).

- the spectrometer also includes a power source (e.g. a battery or power supply) 40 and processing and control unit 50. In the embodiment shown in FIG.
- the spectrometer additionally incorporates I/O optics 70, while in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6B, in place of the I/O optics of the previous embodiment, optical filters are included, one between the light source and the sample, and the other between the sample and compact spectrometer system 20.
- the spectrometers herein disclosed can be adopted, with proper choice of light source, detector, and associated optics, for a use with a wide variety of spectroscopic techniques.
- Non-limiting examples include Raman, fluorescence, and IR or UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopies. Because, as described above, compact spectrometer system 20 can separate a Raman signal from a fluorescence signal, in some embodiments of the invention, the same spectrometer is used for both spectroscopies.
- the spectrometer system comes equipped with a memory with a database of spectral data stored therein and a microprocessor with analysis software programmed in.
- the memory can be volatile in order that the user's own measurements can be incorporated into it.
- the database and/or all or part of the analysis software is stored remotely, and the spectrometer system communicates with it via a network (e.g. a wireless network) by any appropriate method known in the art.
- a network e.g. a wireless network
- the database is located remotely, it is continuously updatable. In this manner, each measurement made by a user of the spectrometer increases the quality and reliability of future measurements made by any user.
- the user illuminates the sample, a spectrum of which is to be obtained.
- the spectrum is then obtained as described above.
- the spectrum is then analyzed using any appropriate analysis method.
- spectral analysis techniques include Principal Components Analysis, Partial Least Squares analysis, and the use of a neural network algorithm to determine the spectral components.
- the spectrum is thus analyzed to determine whether the spectrum of the complex mixture being investigated contains components consistent with the spectrum of a substance, mixture of substances, or microorganism, the presence of which is undesirable, and from the intensity of these components in the spectrum, whether their concentration is high enough to be of concern.
- Non-limiting examples of such substances include toxins, allergens, decomposition products, or harmful microorganisms.
- the user is provided with a warning.
- the invention is connected to a communication network that allows users to share the information obtained in a particular measurement.
- An updatable database located in the "cloud" i.e. the distributed network
- FIG. 7 presents a block diagram of the communication environment of the method disclosed herein for using the system disclosed herein.

- the block diagram shown in FIG. 7 also shows the logical links to the local or remote databases discussed above.
- the conversion of the raw intensity data to a spectrum may be performed either locally (with a processor and software supplied with the spectrometer system) or remotely. Heavier calculations for more complicated analyses will in general be performed remotely.
- the data transferred to the remote system may include one or more of raw detector data; pre-processed detector data or post-processed detector data in which the processing was performed locally; or the spectrum derived from the raw detector data.
- raw detector data pre-processed detector data or post-processed detector data in which the processing was performed locally

- the following signal processing scheme is used. First, an image or a series of images is captured by the image sensor in the spectrometer mentioned above. The images are analyzed by a local processing unit.
- This stage of analysis may include any or all of image averaging, compensation for aberrations of the optical unit, reduction of detector noise by use of a noise reduction algorithm, or conversion of the image into a raw spectrum.
- the raw spectrum is then transmitted to a remote processing unit; in preferred embodiments, the transmission is performed using wireless communication.
- the raw spectrum is then analyzed remotely. First, noise reduction is performed. Then, in embodiments in which a Raman spectrum is being obtained, the Raman signal is separated from any fluorescence signal. Both Raman and fluorescence spectra are then compared to existing calibration spectra. After the calibration is performed, the spectra are analyzed using any appropriate algorithm for spectral decomposition; non-limiting examples of such algorithms include Principal Components Analysis, Partial Least-Squares analysis, and spectral analysis using a neural network algorithm. This analysis provides the information needed to characterize the sample that was tested using the spectrometer. The results of the analysis are then presented to the user.
